Aw, this was so nice!
I loved seeing them fall in love all over again.
Watching them work together was also nice. It reminded me of the scene in the show where Luthor's ex has found a Lois Lane look-alike (sorry, I forget the name of that episode). There's a scene where they are out on the sidewalk and Lois hooks her arm in Clark's and asks if he thinks she is crazy. He responds to the effect that he thinks she is brilliant, "but there's a fine line between brilliance and lunacy". That is the mood I got reading this. The two of them off investigating, enjoying each other's company.
I was a bit surprised that Lois put off Clark every time he brought up that they needed to talk. Was she "being Clark" (and thinking it would be better to just be a friend without doing too much analysing), or was she really that anxious to go out and investigate the case with Clark, or what?
It never occurred to me that Lois would quit her job to stay home with kids. Just because that seems out-of-character for Lois. I wouldn't have had a problem with it, per se, if that's what happened, I just would have been a bit surprised. You had another story (if I recall - how embarrassing if it turns out to be someone else's story!
) where Lucy ended up watching both her own and Lois's kids during the day while Lois worked. That seemed like a good compromise to me. But, to be honest, as long as it were written convincingly, and it was Lois's own decision, I wouldn't have a problem with her either continuing to work or staying home. Assuming she ever becomes a mother.
So, Clark is really going off on the vacation, huh? I can't wait to read that part!
